To all whom it may concern: A

Be it known that I, Moses MosLnn, a citizen 'of'the United States, residing in New York, New York county,

New York, have invented certain new and useful Im- 5 provernents in Safes or Vaults, of which the following is a specification.

This invention, pertaining to improvements in safes or vaults,- will be readilyzunderstood from the following descriptionrtaken in connectionwith the accompanyl ing drawing in whicli':

" 1 Figure 1 is a front elevation of a round door safe embodying an exemplification of my invention:v Fig 2 a :horizontal section of the front portionof the me, the

' door appearing in plan: and Fig. 3 a view 0 the inner l5 face of the door, a portion of the inner laye otthe door I being broken away. I

In the drawing:1, represents the iront'wall of the safe: 2, a circular door opening therein: 3;"the jamb of the door openingpreferably decreasing inwardly in diameter: 4,' studs projecting inwardlyfrom the-rear portion of the jarnb: 5, studs projecting inwardly from the front portion "of the jamh: 6, the doorgconsiderd as a whole, adapted to properlyfit the jamb and to be .partially turned therein; 7, the inner layer of the door,

to fit the inner portion of the jamb: 8, the outer layer of-the"do,or, to fit the outer-portion of thejamb: 9, recesse's in'tha periphery ofthe inner layer of-the door, adapted to "cooperate with the studs 4 in holding the door against outward movement after the door has been closed and slightly tu'rnedi 10, similar recesses in the peripheryof the outer layer of the door, to cooperate with. studs 5: and 11, studs rigidly uniting'the doorla'yers and representing a point oi lesser strength in the thickness of the door. I p

The manner of mounting the door upon its hinges,

and the means for facilitating the turning of the 'door in the jamb, and the locking Ineansforpreventing the release of the door from the jarnb, need not be particularly referred to as they formno part of my presentinvention and may be of any usual or suitable construction.

The door may be of any suitable resisting material,

as hardened steel or the hard cast metals employed in the construction of burglar proof safes'and the layers oi the door, two at leastin number, may lie close together or be separated such small distance as will not materially detract from the effective total thickness of the door. Each layer has its own independent fastening device holding it into the jarnb and the consequence is that if th safe be attacked and the outer layer of the door entirely' rernovedthe inner layer still remains locked in place.

' The system permits of the construction of doors having great effective total thickness formed of layers themselves ofconsiderable thickness not sogreat as to interiere with their satisfactory production. For instance; there is a thickness of material beyond which it is not practicable to economically produce completely man Witnesses CHAS; J. GRAISER, M. S. VBELDI-IN.
